NH Guard announces state partnership with Cabo Verde

CONCORD, N.H. — The New Hampshire National Guard has been selected as the new state partner for the Republic of Cabo Verde, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwestern coast of Africa. Under the auspices of the National Guard Bureau’s State Partnership Program (SPP), New Hampshire was chosen after a months-long, highly competitive selection process involving several other states. “This is great news for New Hampshire,” Gov. Chris Sununu said. “We are safer as a state and country with strategic partnerships across the globe. Our citizens can rest assured that the men and women of the NHNG are the best of the best, providing leadership, security, and knowledge here and abroad.”

A Better Fit

CONCORD, N.H. — For New Hampshire Army Guardsmen, physical fitness isn't an option. Soldiers must train year-round for annual strength, cardiorespiratory and bodyweight tests to ensure operational readiness. But for those needing extra help with their regimen, a little expert advice can't hurt. Enter Heather Taylor, a civilian dietician with the state's wellness program. She was hired a year ago this month to help the NHARNG address readiness and retention issues with guardsmen who struggle to meet the Army’s strict height/weight standards.

The New Hampshire National Guard: Always ready. Always there.
